Embodiments of the Invention

[0012] Hereinafter, embodiments of the display device of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The display device of the present invention is installed on the shelf board of a display shelf in a store and can neatly display products (for example, bag-shaped products other than box-shaped products) displayed in a standing state. Hereinafter, the description will proceed with the front direction as F, the rear direction as R, the vertical direction as UD, and the width direction of the shelf board as W. [Embodiment]

[0013] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the display device 11 is installed, for example, on the rear end or back of the shelf board 16 of the display rack. The shelf board 16 on which the display device 11 is installed may be approximately horizontal, or it may be sloped downwards towards the front so that the installation height decreases towards the front.

[0014] The display device 11 includes a transparent, flat partition plate 12, a support portion 14 that supports the partition plate 12 and supports the upright products 13 aligned by the partition plate 12 from the rear, a plurality of first engaging portions 15 provided on the support portion 14, a base portion 17 provided spaced apart from the support portion 14 in the front-rear direction FR of the shelf board 16, a second engaging portion 18 provided on the base portion 17, a spacer portion 21 connecting the support portion 14 and the base portion 17, a fixing member 22 provided on the back side opposite to the upper surface of the spacer portion 21, a pair of notches 23 provided at both ends of the support portion 14 in the width direction W, a plurality of connecting portions 24 for connecting to other adjacent display devices 11, and abutment portion 25 provided so as to protrude in a stepped manner from the end of the support portion 14 in the width direction W. Each part of the display device 11, excluding the partition plate 12, is integrally molded from, for example, a synthetic resin material.

[0015] The partition plate 12 is formed of, for example, a translucent synthetic resin material. The partition plate 12 is, for example, a rectangular plate with a rounded shape, where the upper corner on the front side is removed in an arc shape.

[0016] The support portion 14 is formed in a roughly trapezoidal block shape, having an inclined surface 14A on the front side and a vertical surface 14B on the rear side. The inclined surface 14A is angled so that its height increases towards the rear. In this embodiment, the support portion 14 is provided with a plurality of first engaging portions 15. The plurality of first engaging portions 15 are arranged at a constant pitch in the width direction W of the shelf board 16.

[0017] Each of the multiple first engaging portions 15 is formed in the shape of a slit extending in the vertical direction (up and down direction UD). A partition plate 12 can be inserted into this first engaging portion 15 and made to stand upright. The partition plate 12 can be inserted into any of the first engaging portions 15 and can be installed in an upright position at any position on the shelf board 16 in the width direction W.

[0018] As shown in Figure 3, the first engaging portion 15 has a pair of chamfered portions 15A near the front opening (end portion) of its slit, which are chamfered so as to widen towards the front. Therefore, the rear end of the partition plate 12 inserted from the front F can be smoothly guided toward the back of the first engaging portion 15 by the pair of chamfered portions 15A.

[0019] The base portion 17 is formed in a thick plate shape and is formed as an elongated rectangle in the width direction W when viewed from above. The base portion 17 is configured to be significantly lower in height than the support portion 14, and products 13 can also be placed on and displayed on the upper side of the base portion 17. The base portion 17 includes rounded chamfered portions 17A on its front and rear sides.

[0020] The base portion 17 is provided with a plurality of second engaging portions 18. The plurality of second engaging portions 18 are formed at a constant pitch in the width direction W. The plurality of second engaging portions 18 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of first engaging portions 15. Each of the plurality of second engaging portions 18 is recessed downward from the top surface 17B of the base portion 17 and forms a groove that extends in the front-rear direction. The partition plate 12 can be inserted from above into any of the second engaging portions 18. The second engaging portion 18 can hold the partition plate 12 inserted therein in an upright position together with the first engaging portion 15. The second engaging portion 18 can support the partition plate 12 in the front-rear direction, approximately in the middle portion. In this embodiment, the approximately middle portion of the partition plate 12 in the front-rear direction refers to the portion of the partition plate 12 excluding the front end and rear end.

[0021] As shown in Figure 3, the second engagement portion 18 includes a first chamfered surface 18A provided towards the front side F, a second chamfered surface 18B provided towards the rear side R, and a central vertical surface 18C provided between the first chamfered surface 18A and the second chamfered surface 18B. The first chamfered surface 18A is formed in a pair near the upper opening (end portion) of the groove constituting the second engagement portion 18, with the chamfered surface widening as it goes upwards. Similarly, the second chamfered surface 18B is formed in a pair near the upper opening (end portion) of the groove constituting the second engagement portion 18, with the chamfered surface widening as it goes upwards. As a result, the first chamfered surface 18A and the second chamfered surface 18B can smoothly guide the partition plate 12 inserted into the second engagement portion 18 from above toward the bottom of the second engagement portion 18.

[0022] The central vertical surface 18C is formed in pairs near the upper opening (end portion) of the groove that constitutes the second engagement portion 18, and is formed to form a vertical surface without being chamfered like the first chamfered surface 18A and the second chamfered surface 18B. The central vertical surface 18C can firmly support the partition plate 12 inserted therein from both sides, and can stably hold the partition plate 12 in an upright position without wobbling.

[0023] The spacer portion 21 is formed in a flat shape at a position between the support portion 14 and the base portion 17. As shown in Figure 4, the top surface of the spacer portion 21 is formed at a height equal to or lower than the height of the bottom portion 18D of the groove-shaped second engagement portion 18. Therefore, the spacer portion 21 is formed recessed relative to the top surface 17B of the base portion 17. Consequently, when sweeping out dust and other debris accumulated in the second engagement portion 18 with a broom, the dust can be smoothly collected on the spacer portion 21.

[0024] The fixing member 22 is made of, for example, a magnetic sheet. The fixing member 22 is attached to the back surface of the spacer part 21 with, for example, double-sided tape. The fixing member 22 may also be made of a block-shaped permanent magnet such as a neodymium magnet. The fixing member 22 can fix the display device 11 to the metal shelf 16 by magnetic force.

[0025] Each of the pair of notches 23 is a rectangular cutout at both ends and the top of the support portion 14 in the width direction W, so as to be lower in height than the rest of the support portion 14. The notches 23 are cut out to be lower than the rest of the support portion 14 so as not to interfere with the brackets that support the shelf located on the upper shelf of the shelf 16 on which the display device 11 is installed. Therefore, even if the display device 11 is installed at the end of the shelf 16 in the width direction W, there is no risk of the display device 11 interfering with the brackets of the upper shelf, and the display device 11 can be placed at any position on the shelf 16.

[0026] Multiple connecting sections 24 are provided on the right side of the display device 11. The multiple connecting sections 24 are located away from the spacer section 21 in the front-rear direction, i.e., in positions corresponding to the support section 14 and the base section 17. Each of the multiple connecting sections 24 is formed in an "L" shape in cross-section and can be inserted from below into a complementary recess 26 of another identically shaped display device 11 located adjacent to it in the width direction (see Figure 6).

[0027] The abutment portion 25 is provided on the right side of the support portion 14 of the display device 11. The abutment portion 25 is composed of a stepped portion extending in the vertical direction. The left side of the support portion 14 of the display device 11 has a receiving portion (not shown) which is composed of a stepped portion facing the opposite direction that has a shape complementary to the stepped portion of the abutment portion 25 and is capable of engaging with it. As a result, other display devices 11 adjacent to the display device 11 in the width direction W are prevented from having their support portion 14 pushed in and tipping backward R by the engagement of the abutment portion 25 and the receiving portion, and as a result are prevented from floating up and falling off the display device 11.

[0028] Next, with reference to Figures 5 and 6, a method for connecting the display device 11 of this embodiment with other display devices 11 adjacent to it in the width direction W will be described.

[0029] As shown in Figure 6, to connect another display device 11 (second display device) adjacent to the first display device 11 in the width direction W (right side), the other display device 11 is placed on the shelf 16 from above, adjacent to the first display device 11. This causes the connecting part 24 of the first display device 11 to be inserted into the recess 26 of the other display device 11. At this time, the receiving part of the other display device 11 comes into contact with the abutment part 25 of the first display device 11. This results in the state shown in Figure 5, and the first display device 11 can be connected to the first display device 11 in such an extremely simple process. To remove the first display device 11 from the first display device 11, simply lift the first display device 11 upwards relative to the first display device 11, in the reverse of the above procedure.

[0030] Referring to Figure 7, the operation of the display device 11 of this embodiment will be explained. In this embodiment, the partition plate 12 is supported at two points, by a first engaging portion 15 provided on the support portion 14 and a second engaging portion 18 provided on the base portion 17. As a result, the amount of movement in the width direction W is small, and the products can be held upright stably. In addition, since the first spacer portion 21 is formed recessed with respect to the top surface 17B of the base portion 17, when the product 13 at the rearmost R is raised upright, the lower end of the product 13 catches on the base portion 17. Therefore, even if the product 13 at the rearmost R is raised at an angle so that its front surface faces slightly upward, the product 13 will not slide its lower end and fall over. For this reason, even when products 13 are displayed upright on top of this product 13 at the rearmost R, a chain reaction of falling over will not occur, and the products 13 will be displayed in an orderly manner. Furthermore, a light-transmitting plastic plate and anti-tip device 19 is provided at the front of the shelf 16 so as to stand upright, thereby preventing the products 13 from tipping over or falling off the shelf 16.

[0031] Next, with reference to Figure 8, the display device 11 of the first modified example will be described. In this modified example, the display devices 11 are installed facing each other on the shelf board 16. That is, as in the above embodiment, the display devices 11 are installed at the rear of the rear R on the shelf board 16 in the same orientation as in the first embodiment. In this modified example, an additional display device 11 is installed at the front F on the shelf board 16, rotated 180 degrees in the horizontal plane relative to the rear display device 11, so that it faces the opposite direction from the rear display device 11 on the shelf board 16.

[0032] Several rectangular partition plates 12 may be installed on either the first engaging portion 15 and the second engaging portion 18 of the rear R display device 11, or the first engaging portion 15 and the second engaging portion 18 of the front F display device 11, so as to span both of them.

[0033] According to this modified version, since the display device 11 is also placed on the front side F of the shelf board 16, it is possible to more reliably prevent the upright products 13 from falling over.

[0034] Referring to Figures 9 and 10, a second modified display device 11 will be described. The second modified display device 11 has a jig 32 on the back side of the support part 14 to which a flat plate 31 can be attached. The jig 32 may be made of, for example, a synthetic resin material. The flat plate 31 may be a plastic plate on which an image that will serve as the background for the product 13 is printed, or it may be a transparent plastic plate folded into a "U" shape, on which a sheet (paper) such as a pop-up display with a product description written on it can be inserted.

[0035] As shown in Figure 10, the jig 32 is detachably fixed to the support part 14 by fitting a portion of it into the notched recess 33A of a pair of legs 33 provided in the rear center of the display device 11. The jig 32 has a support plate 32A that extends upward. A flat plate 31 can be inserted between this support plate 32A and the vertical surface 14B (back) of the support part 14 to make it stand upright and hold it in place.

[0036] Referring to Figures 11 and 12, a third modified display device 11 will be described. The third modified display device 11 has a jig 32 on which the display device 11 can be hooked onto the rear end 16A of the shelf board 16. The jig 32 may be made of, for example, a synthetic resin material.

[0037] As shown in Figure 12, the jig 32 is detachably fixed to the display device 11 by fitting a portion of it into the notched recesses 33A of a pair of legs 33 provided at the rear center of the display device 11. The jig 32 has a hook plate 32B that extends downward. This hook plate 32B allows the display device 11 to be hooked onto the rear end 16A of the shelf board 16. This modified version is useful, for example, to maintain the installation position of the display device 11 towards the back of the shelf board 16 when the shelf board 16 is inclined downwards towards the front, with its height decreasing towards the front.

[0038] According to this embodiment, the following can be said: The display device 11 comprises a partition plate 12 that divides the shelf board 16 along the front-rear direction FR, a support part 14 that supports the upright products 13 aligned by the partition plate 12 from the rear, a first engaging part 15 provided on the support part 14 that supports the rear end 16A of the partition plate 12 and holds the partition plate 12 in an upright state, a base part 17 provided spaced apart from the support part 14 in the front-rear direction of the shelf board 16 and on which the upright products 13 can be placed, a second engaging part 18 provided on the base part 17 that supports the approximately middle part of the partition plate 12 and holds the partition plate 12 in an upright state, and a spacer part 21 connecting the support part 14 and the base part 17, the spacer part 21 being recessed relative to the top surface 17B of the base part 17.

[0039] With this configuration, by interposing the spacer portion 21, the base portion 17 can be positioned closer to the front of the shelf board 16, allowing the partition plate 12 to be supported at two separate points in the front-to-back direction FR, thus preventing the partition plate 12 from wobbling. In addition, the support portion 14 prevents the upright product 13 from falling over, enabling the store to display the product 13 in an orderly manner as desired. Furthermore, because the spacer portion 21 is recessed relative to the top surface 17B of the base portion 17, the lower end of the upright product 13 can be hooked onto the base portion 17. This prevents the rearmost product 13 in this position from sliding its lower end and falling over. This prevents a chain reaction of products 13 in front from sliding and falling over. As a result, an orderly display of products 13 can be achieved.

[0040] In this case, the second engaging portion 18 is formed as a groove recessed from the top surface 17B of the base portion 17, and the height of the top surface of the spacer portion 21 is equal to or lower than the height of the bottom portion 18D of the groove-shaped second engaging portion 18.

[0041] With this configuration, dust and other debris accumulated in the groove-shaped second engagement portion 18 can be swept out to the spacer portion 21 side with a broom or similar tool for cleaning. This improves the cleanability of the display device 11 and reduces the burden on store managers.

[0042] In this case, the spacer portion 21 is flat, and a flat fixing member 22 for fixing it to the shelf board 16 is provided on the back surface of the spacer portion 21.

[0043] This configuration prevents the display device 11 from becoming too tall at the position of the spacer portion 21. This allows for effective use of the space on the shelf board 16. Furthermore, by using a magnetic sheet as the fixing member 22, the display device 11 can be fixed to the shelf board 16 very easily.

[0044] In this case, the shelf board 16 has a connecting portion 24 that connects to other display devices 11 adjacent to it in the width direction W, located away from the spacer portion 21 in the front-rear direction FR.

[0045] With this configuration, since there is no connecting portion 24 in the spacer portion 21, no unevenness is created in the spacer portion 21 at this position, and the spacer portions 21 of the display device 11, which are connected in the width direction W, can be cleaned all at once with a single sweep in the width direction W. Therefore, the effort required for cleaning is reduced, and the burden on store managers can be reduced.

[0046] In this case, the support portion 14 is angled so that it moves backward as it goes upward.

[0047] This configuration allows the front of the upright product 13 to be displayed facing diagonally upwards. This makes the front of the product 13 more visible to customers, thereby increasing their willingness to purchase.

[0048] The embodiments and modifications described above can be implemented with various further substitutions and modifications. [Explanation of Symbols]
